Anyone have any good #podcasts for sleeping?

Carheads are fascinating. They love their cars so much that they feel personally attacked due to laws put in place to make cities more livable.
Just shouting about how "the government" is making rules about "things they don't understand" all the time and repeating the same strawman argument about how EVs can't reduce CO2 because tyres and brake pads are also a major source of pollution and so they are pointless.
But what would I, a filthy pedestrian, know about any of this?

Back in the day (ok, it was the 90s) one of the teachers that ran the computer lab at our school would get frustrated from time to time. He was an awesome teacher. We learned so much (keyboard shortcuts, taking apart and putting computers together, installing things, even a tiny bit of networking). But, every now and then he just lost patience and would tap a student on the shoulder and say, "let me drive."

Still makes me laugh a bit today.

Fed up with neverending backtracking in metroidvanias and die-and-retry roguelites?

Want to play a lovely under–10-hour side scrolling platformer with 16-bit graphics?

Grab a copy of Kaze and The Wild Masks next time it is on sale.

No, it isn't a polished AAA game, but it is a great throwback for anyone who played this type of game as a kid. Difficulty wise, it is just challenging enough to be satisfying.

Web developer people. I am lacking the vocabulary to complain about something to the IT folks at my work.

We are using a very sloppy online exam software with MANY bugs. One of which is this, and I'm looking to explain it using the right terminology:

When editing a field, the field randomly becomes "unfocused" causing the key presses to register as browser shortcuts. Is there a better way to describe this?

After trying the MP01 and MP02 (and skipping the upgraded MP02) I am not surprised in the least to read a review like this: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/punkt-mc02-android-phone-so-bad-i-could-not-review-it/

I am nearly 40.

I've watched over 14,000 episodes of television (according to Trakt).

This morning I watched one of the most perfectly paced, beautiful, well-written examples of animated story-telling for children.

Many shows for kids have been reduced to self-contained 7-minute shorts. A full arc from exposition to denouement plus opening and closing credits is the norm. Good story-tellers can still do a lot with that.

Continuity, for example, is something kids grasp and enjoy...

"Wonder what's happening over on the trending posts tab," I thought to myself... It appears everybody is talking about the same thing: a backdoor in an upstream package.

My takeaway: this is why open source is amazing. The backdoor was found, the fix is being distributed, and there is a lot of transparency and communication about it.

Besides a raspberry pi, which I already have, which SBC or NUC would make a good media centre? Don't need 4K but I'd like something I can add storage to other than with a HAT or over USB. There are just so many options now and I don't want to overdo it for something that will just be sitting in a drawer.

whoa whoa whoa now #TestWe!

hold up!

your server wants to change my my clock? Am I reading that right?

Why might my time, which is set automatically, be different from your time? Could it be that your server is in a different time zone? One that maybe began DST this weekend? Nah, not possible...

Let's see what happens, just for fun. This is my work computer and I don't really care anyway.

Oh my I did something! A little copying and pasting and some regex stuff and I made something that someone might actually use.

@clive shared a story the other day about how larger companies are breaking rules and shoving garbage articles in our faces so... I made some lists for uBlacklist to filter out those shite results

This week #BeReal spilled over into my classes. The number of student users has grown to such a point that it is disturbing classes across the campus.
I am upset by the fact that I have been photographed while at work. The coincidence that it happened during a lesson on BJ Fogg is salt in the wound.
And, just in time, BeReal, which received funding from a16z and the likes, is surprising nobody by announcing the arrival of brands and celebs.
"Real" indeed.
